Well, now I am more confused than ever. I started this thread hoping
for a clear answer to, is it safe/sensible to try Feisty 64 bit or not?
The answers have certainly been mixed.

My computer does have an AMD64 processor. At the moment I am running
Edgy 32 bit and I have never had any problems that have had anything to
do with the mix of 64 bit processor and 32 bit distro. 

Now what do I do??
